The Chicago Tribune reports that the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals—which sets precedent in Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin—ruled
that workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The plaintiff, a college teacher, said she was reprimanded for kissing her girlfriend, then was not given full-time work at the college and was dismissed. The college denied that it discriminated against her.
MP3 audio of the oral arguments is available.

Government cannot lead society; government can only follow society.
Society? No.
Commerce? YES.

Most people are OK with the government making the human interaction of murder illegal (e.g. regulating it).

Doesn't make it right.
Also, you'll notice that murder is still rampant.

Dear lord you just advocated against society punishing murder... my guess is you're just a total troll, my guess is Der Buzzard posting as AC with a specific set of catch phrases. Your arguments / counter arguments are too dumb to not be trolling while also able to construct proper sentences.
